Editorial Note
The Security Council voted on each section of the Colombian resolution (see Editorial Note, page 799) on August 29. The United States supported the resolution except for the one section calling for mutual assistance in the defense of the Suez Canal. None of the sections commanded the necessary majority. Faris el-Khouri, President of the Security Council, thereupon stated, without a formal vote by the Council, that the Colombian resolution was not adopted and that the Egyptian case remained on the agenda. For the official record of the Council meeting on August 29, see SC, 2nd yr., No. 87, page 2319.
